Organized excursion groups are a nightmare for many people seeking peace. So, if you are really looking for peace, large and impersonal hotels, choose intimate guesthouses and private accommodation, where you will not encounter hundreds of tourists.

During a slow holiday, try to wake up all your senses: observe the unknown with as much attention as possible, look for new tastes and smells, if you are abroad, listen to the rhythm of a foreign language. If something fascinates you, stop and observe, let it be, for example, a beautiful view …
